Your project in the canton of Zurich
Around the Limmat and the lake, the canton of Zurich offers a great variety of buildings. In the city of Zurich, older rental buildings, condominium flats and old town buildings stand side by side in a dense setting where parking is scarce. Winterthur, the canton's second city, has a lively old town and converted industrial districts. On the lakeshores, Thalwil, Horgen and Wädenswil have many villas and houses with views, often on slopes. The Zurich Oberland, around Uster, combines residential districts and villages, while in the north, Kloten and Bülach have grown around the airport. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. An extension or work in an old town may involve formalities, and your municipality will tell you which. Give the municipality and postcode, building access and any restrictions in an occupied home or operating business premises.
- In the city of Zurich, mention the parking options and whether there is a lift.
- For a lakeside villa on a slope, describe access to the plot and any outdoor steps.
- For a condominium building, say whether the work concerns only your own unit or the communal areas too.
Removals in the canton of Zurich
In the canton of Zurich, removals are numerous and the housing market is very tight. In Zurich, older buildings in the central districts rarely have a large enough lift, and a furniture lift through the window is a common solution. To stop the lorry in a narrow street or near tram lines, obtain the municipality's approval. In Winterthur, former workers' districts and new residential developments offer simpler access. On the lakeshore, hillside villas have stairs and long driveways. In the Zurich Oberland and around Bülach, family homes more often involve garages, cellars and garden sheds. End-of-lease dates are in high demand, so book quickly.
- In an older Zurich building, ask whether the furniture lift can go through the inner courtyard when the street is too narrow.
- If your move-out coincides with a popular end-of-lease date, contact several companies as soon as the date is known.

Frequently asked questions
How can I prepare my move in Zurich?
Draw up an inventory of the furniture and boxes to be moved, noting bulky or fragile items. Check access at both addresses, such as lifts, stairs and parking for the lorry. Ask the removal company whether it provides boxes, packing and furniture dismantling.
Why are both addresses important in a moving request?
Stairs, lift dimensions, parking and carrying distances affect how belongings can be handled. Include these details for both departure and arrival, together with bulky items. Tell the mover about access restrictions so the handling method and any required arrangements can be discussed in advance.
What should I compare in moving services quotes?
Compare packing, loading, transport, unloading and furniture assembly against the same inventory. Identify boxes, storage and special handling separately. Ask for the terms for handling damage and changes to the inventory, and confirm who arranges access or parking where necessary.
How should I prepare for the moving services visit or work?
Label items by destination room and separate valuables or personal documents to keep with you. Share access details privately and confirm that lifts or shared entrances can be used. Agree which furniture should remain assembled until the moving team assesses it.
